I don't know if everyone keeps arguing about rankings etc. just to argue, or if any of you actually think that any of it (at any point in the year) means shit. It doesn't: not at the beginning, the middle, or the end. Hell, Gonzaga was the #1 team for the last three weeks heading into March, and they didn't even get the #1 overall seed in the tourney.
Really, who fucking cares???
If you think your team is the best in the country, then you should get a #1 seed and get to the Final Four. Seriously, if SU does what they are supposed to do, they'll get the #1 seed in the East. If Wisky does the same, they will get the #1 seed in the Midwest, and if AZ follows suit, they will get the top seed in the West. What is the fucking problem here???
If you are really concerned that your team is not #1 in the rankings, then it means that your team is still good enough to be the #1 seed in your closest region, and it's really not a big deal. The goal of any regular season is to get the #1 seed in your closest region because it you the least possible travel in the tourney to get to the FF.
Again, WTF is the argument???
No ranking, index, or rating is completely accurate. And because they are not perfect, and because they use different qualifiable and quantifiable indicators, they are usually different from each other. The committee uses a wide variety of qualifiable and quantifiable indicators to decide seeding. Not just one, and each member weighs differently. It's not an exact science. Besides, the main point is that if your team has done what they needed to do, then they will be the #1 seed in their region, regardless of the rankings. And don't give me the overall #1 seed bullshit. If you really think that your team is good enough to make it to the Final Four, then it doesn't matter who else gets put in at the opposite end of your bracket.
Wisky should be worried this season about MSU, OSU, etc.; not AZ.
SU should be worried about Pitt, 'Nova, etc.; not AZ.
If you are not really worried about the teams that will challenge you for the #1 seed in your region, then great!!!!
The only time you should worry about a team that has no threat of challenging your region is if/when you get to Arlington for the Final Four.
Other than that, you people are wasting your time on some seriously worthless bullshit. Enjoy the fucking season, we've all had to wait an entire offseason for this. Don't waste it being consumed with why you are not at the top of some bullshit category.
